This issue can be reproduced with earlier versions, e.g. Fx28, and seems to be a issue in Fx4.0 too. It may not be a bug or regression in Firefox.

As noted in bug 1344531 comment 7: what remains of this bug (after bug 1344398's changes) is basically a subtle version of bug 575614. (Multicol relayout [for the footnotes] is slow, even when it's just for a change in the available space; and the "overflow" tweak here is effectively just a change in the available space now, due to hiding/showing a scrollbar.)

It's possible bug 1367568 might improve things on platforms that have overlay scrollbars [where hiding/showing the scrollbar won't actually affect available space], but I'm not sure.  Anyway, that's not the norm, so this will basically still be an issue until we have a solution for bug 575614. --> duping
